laptop

hey guys. so I'm looking forward to purchasing a laptop, mainly for office work, but i was wondering if you guys think it would be acceptable (regarding memory, Ram, CPU... etc...) for basic recording purposes as I am not very knowledgeable with the techy side of things. Here are the specs:

Acer Aspire S-3 Ultrabook
Intel Core i3-3217U processor

4GB DDR3 RAM

500GB hard drive + 20GB solid-state drive

My setup right now is very basic but it works:
Bass/Guitar--->line 6 ux1 ---> podfarm---> Riffworks T4

Would latency and clicks/pops really be that different from what i have now? Currently: Intel Core 2 at 2.4 2.2 Ghz. This is i3 at only 1.8ghz. Recording is NOT for professional use, just a hobby.

I've also heard the Podfarm 2.5 is actually very "generous" on CPU usage if that makes any sense.
Thanks!

Thanks for all the advice! Would latency and clicks/pops really be that different from what i have now? Currently: Intel Core 2 at [DEL]2.4 [/DEL] 2.2 Ghz. This is i3 at only 1.8ghz. Recording is NOT for professional use, just a hobby.

EDIT: this laptop is what i need for all other applications, just wondering about recording/podfarm for convenient dorm room usage.

-Turn your power settings to high performance or whatever it is on you computer

-If you think your man enough turn windows updates off(Probably the single best thing i've done on all my computers)

-Turn off all windows visual effects(it will revert to a win 98 type look)

-Try to be sure there are no programs that are set to auto update.

-I don't run security software but it may help to disable while recording.

All of this isn't necessary, but I've used this on both my laptops when doing muti-track recording and my system is rock solid. I tend to keep my computers lean and mean as far as software. Just from experience the less clutter you keep on win based systems the better they run.
